SPC player for winamp?

Post by Dwedit »

The newest version of Winamp seems to have broken the Alpha II SPC Player. Any recommendations for an alternative Winamp plugin?

I suggest a migration away from Winamp and onto XMPlay. It has Winamp2 plugin support as well while proprietary plugins are still in development.

I'll be damned. Just tried NSF & SPC files in audacious for Ubuntu and they worked beautifully. I dunno if that helps you but it's good to know.

I'm second on migration to XMPlay, it allows to use the same plugins. Don't really remember when I used Winamp last time.

I use XMplay too mostly but I use Winamp for MODs and some other music modules. I need to see if importing Winamp MOD plugin is worth it.

I've found the stock MOD plugin for Winamp incredibly buggy.
I'd recommend trying out this MOD player plugin based on MODPlug,

People still use Winamp? Man, the last time I used it we were still in the 90's...!

What do you use instead nowadays that has something like the Disk Writer output plug-in, and support for USF (N64 music rips)? I used 64th Note (an input plug-in that plays USF) and Disk Writer to turn the Doubutsu no Mori (N64) soundtrack into audio files for me to listen to on my MP3 player while I was making Thwaite.

I tried out XMPlay (worst possible name for a general-purpose music player ever). It works well, but it's just not quite as good as Winamp. Little things, like the keyboard commands not being the same throw me off.

I guess I'll downgrade to a previous version of Winamp from my last hard drive backup.

I still believe that XMPlay is superior in most aspects. If you download the most recent development version from http://www.un4seen.com/stuff/xmplay.exe you can see that the previously unsupported compression format for IT is also supported. Many of us that track in IT use a Python program coded by GreaseMonkey called "munch.py" that takes advantage of this compression format in order to enter size-limit s3m/xm/mod/it competitions.

Just tested, Audacious also even plays MOD files. So it seems like a protip is just to use Audacious for music. It's a great music player anyway.

Winamp supports a lot more formats, it is the only reason I use it. I got a lot of modules that XMplay rejects but Winamp has no problems with.

XMPlay doesn't like the classic, old versions of the MOD format (15 instruments etc). There is a plugin to play them, though.
